feat(langfuse): propagate observation metadata for evals (#14634)

# Pull Request Template

## Description

We need to pass on trace level attributes down to the spans inside them
like tool calls, observations, etc.
This way, we can filter observations based on trace level attributes.


## Type of change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

## How Has This Been Tested?

Please describe the tests that you ran to verify your changes. Provide
instructions so we can reproduce. Please also list any relevant details
for your test configuration.

Attributes added to observation metadata for easy filtering

added a `generation_stage` to differentiate llm_calls that call tools vs
those that generate a `final_response`

# Regression test for Langfuse double-counting bug.
# Setting gen_ai.request.model on parent spans causes Langfuse to classify them as
# GENERATIONs instead of SPANs, resulting in cost being counted multiple times
